Feminist Visual Solidarities and Kinships

Erina Duganne

Rutgers University Press, 2027

Feminist Visual Solidarities and Kinships considers global feminist coalitional practices in the contemporary visual arts through three key frameworks: transnational solidarity, archives, and kinships and care. The edited volume features emerging and established scholars and artists whose diverse perspectives inspire connections as well as critical points of divergence over the meanings of “feminism,” “transnationalism,” and “art.” Representing grassroots activism, artistic practice, and scholarly and curatorial inquiry, the diversity of approaches, writing styles, and chapter lengths depart from conventional modes of academic writing and provide pedagogical opportunities for students and scholars to use these contributions in a variety of learning environments not limited to the traditional classroom.

Visualizing Genocide

Indigenous Interventions in Art, Archives, and Museums

Edited by Yve Chavez and Nancy Marie Mithlo; Foreword by Charlene Villaseñor Black

University of Arizona Press, 2022

Visualizing Genocide examines how creative arts and memory institutions selectively commemorate or often outright ignore stark histories of colonialism. The essays confront outdated narratives and institutional methods by investigating contemporary artistic and scholarly interventions documenting settler colonialisms including land theft, incarceration, intergenerational trauma, and genocide. Interdisciplinary approaches, including oral histories, exhibition practices, artistic critiques, archival investigations, and public arts, are among the many decolonizing methods incorporated in contemporary curatorial practices.

Rather than dwelling simply in celebratory appraisals of Indigenous survival, this unprecedented volume tracks how massacres, disease, removals, abrogated treaties, religious intolerance, theft of land, and relocation are conceived by contemporary academics and artists. Contributors address indigeneity in the United States, Norway, Canada, Australia, and the Caribbean in scholarly essays, poems, and artist narratives. Missions, cemeteries, archives, exhibitions, photography, printmaking, painting, installations, performance, music, and museums are documented by fourteen authors from a variety of disciplines and illustrated with forty-three original artworks.

The authors offer honest critique, but in so doing they give hopeful and concrete strategies for the future. This powerful collection of voices employs Indigenous epistemologies and decolonial strategies, providing essential perspectives on art and visual culture.
